I am planning to buy a Arduino board. I am also considering Arduino clones, too. My requirements are that the board should inbuilt communication modes like Ethernet, WiFi and a SD card slot, too. Also the board should have a decent amount of memory and the processor must be a a little more powerful than the Uno. The board must be capable of running a OS if possible!

I was looking at the Yun and Due. The Yun has all the communication modes but runs on a low end processor. The Due on the other hand runs on a ARM processor but has none of the communication modes. So now I am in a fix.

Which board should I choose?

I would go with a Yun. Despite having a low end CPU, it runs at 400MHz and the disk space can be expanded using the uSD card (see this blog post).

If you don't plan to make CPU intensive tasks (such as real time video streaming and manipulation), the Yun is a nice tool. Otherwise, the Tre fits better (however, at the time of writing, it still has to be released).
